I keep electric heaters for when I run out of propane. Hopefully that

I check my tank gauge every Sunday.
My next door neighbor complained that his propane company only filled him to 56%
during the shortage last year. Then he ran out of propane about ten days later.
After the refill, his furnace went on lockout, and he had to pay a tech to clean
his burners. Furnace had a pre-season service, tech told him that running out of
LP was the cause of the problem.
I couldn't believe he let it happen. He was really worried about the short fill,
but apparently didn't keep close track of the propane level. I would have been
burning up the phone lines after it hit 20%. He paid in advance for a year's
propane in the middle of the summer, with a 'keep full' contract, and they did
that to him when propane got expensive.
My parents have the same contract with another provider which tries to keep them
above 50% because of their backup generator. Their tank was kept full through
last year's shortage.
Mitch.
